So today, my mission was to go get a bank account and a phone...mission failure.  I had been told that I didn't need to get a bank account before I could get a phone, so I decided that I would get the phone first.  I traveled from Kamishakujii (where I live) to Harajuku where I would find a "softbank" (cell phone dealer).  I had been to Harajuku before, when Becky and I went to check out the tree fort coffee shop, and the street performers.  Harajuku is where you can buy the coolest stuff.  Anyway, I arrived at Softbank and was shown a few 0 down cell phones.  I picked a really nice blue one :) but when we started to do the paperwork, he required my Gaijin card which I had not recieved yet, but will be recieving on the 25th.  Unfortunately it is impossible to get a cell phone without the Gaijin card (a Gainjin card is a card for Foreigners for alein registration).  The gentleman at the counter asked me to come back when I have the Gainjin card and then we will work the cell phone dealie out. 
After I was unable to get a cell, I decided that since I was in Harajuku I might as well do a little touring around.  I cruized through the streets for a while, took some random pictures and then headed home. 

After returning to Kamishakujii I hit up the grocery store to buy some noodles bread and cereal.  I treated myself to a chocolate chip bun thing (amazing) and ate it as I walked home.  I arrived at home and proceeded to check my email where, to my suprize, I had recieved an email from GABA accepting my application and asking for the closest Learning Studio to my area.  I chose Meguro which is only about a half an hour journey from my house.  I am so excited that I have a job.  I am so thankful to the Big Guy upstairs! 

So Becky finally got her tattoo done and it looks GREAT! I am so impressed with the skin artists here.  I am pretty sure she agrees as well, although it is not too hard to tell from the look on her face.  Mom I think I am going to get full sleeve tattoos here, I hope thats okay! :ŹD JK

Please feel free to comment on my Entries and Pictures, It would make my day!

Remeber to smile everyday!
